Tagret nods to Saravena as she makes the offer "Sounds good to me...stay alert" and with that settles himself on the ground near the wagon, but falls asleep holding his javelin

OOC: Can we assume that Alarm is cast

 Yes alarm is cast.

 

The night is peaceful, and despite the time when you each take a shift as lookout, you all get a decent nights rest.

Though as you do take your shift, there are various signs of wild life heard and seen through out the night. These include the hooting of owls, the chipping of crickets, the dashing of field mice and foxes. However, the animals keep away from your camp, deciding that keeping their distance is better for their survival.

Eventually, the dawn breaks and the first rays of sunlight sparkle on the dew that has gathered on the grassy fields. 

Feeling refreshed from a solid nights sleep under the stars Tagret stirs as sky brightens into dawn he arises and looks around at the others before announcing to those that may still be asleep "The dawn is upon us, the day begins...let us get up and get moving....we can break fast on the trail"

Tagret will busy himself packing his things, slinging his backpack into the wagon and then begin pacing around the camp, taking in the sights to the east and west as the others awaken and prepare themselves for another day

Eniwin awakes and prepares for the days journey, looking over her spell book and prepping for possible situations on the road.

Hearing Tagret's voice Saravena sits up in her bedroll groggily, her hair is a disheveled mess, she rubs the sleep from her eyes. Digging through her pack Saravena pulls out her waterskin takes a long draw from it, splashes some onto her face, tries to her best to calm the chaos that was her hair, then began to pack up her gear. 

(Sorry about the absence my mom and grandma got COVID then I had to move out for work and a coworker got it too so it’s been OT at my shop.) 

Still asleep Damian hears the commotion get up groggy “What... we’re leaving now?” Damian slowly gets himself together as he put on his armor.

Hey no worries. Hope everyone gets better.

Once everyone is up, you get the cart ready and begin to continue on your journey south.

As he did yesterday, Tagret walks alongside the card, some 20ft ahead and off to the east (inland) side of the road, Javelin held loosely in one hand, a smile on his face at his first morning outside a city in a number of days "If feels good to be free of city walls once again....I don't know how city folk cope being in such a prison daily"

OOC: Sorry to hear that @BeastyC - hope everyone gets through it okay ...

((Stay healthy BeastyC))

Saravena sits in the drivers seat of the cart like she did the day before, she lets out a long yawn and rubs the last bit of sleep from her eyes. 

"It's the beds," Saravena answers Target's remark, "The beds and the books, nothing beats a comfortable bed with a good book." 

Saravena sighs at the memory of her bed in her small apartment, but she knew if she wanted the gold she would have to suffer a few nights of cold hard ground.

Eniwin, also walking along side the cart, hears Saravena and verbally agrees. She also tries to keep and eye on her surroundings while journeying.

Perception: 6

@Athenios

 As you continue south you begin to see the outlines of a mountain range in front of you.

As the carry on Saravena tries to spot any other usable flora or fungus within site of the road.

Nature 19

Rashana is still meditating on the cart. It apparently is her hobby of some short. While she is in the middle of the meditating, she feels a slight tickle behind her head then she mutters to herself. "I know. But I think we will be there soon. Patient."

Looking at the mountains, Damian's excitement grows "It's the Forge, Target! I am used to staying in the mountain mining and forging steel, it's the best feeling I tell ya! I've had many sleepless nights there! If you guys need weapons or armor let me now! I wouldn't mind y'all are packing some serious gear, the kind that needs maintenance every now and then!" 

Seeing Eniwin on the look out and Rashana meditating, He will also look out checking the sides of the roads moving to the left side of the cart. "You expecting trouble Eniwin?

After travelling south for a few hours, you spot the road to the east, Triboar Trail.

As the party head off onto the lesser travelled path, he turns around to the team with a serious expression on his face

"We are leaving the more well travelled route now, be extra vigilant as we proceed"

Saravena stops the cart momentarily to collect the hangfingers, happily humming as she stores them in her pack, then gets the cart moving again. At Tagret's word Saravena nods and keeps an extra vigilant eye for anymore flora or fungi to collect.

 You continue down the road, being careful and wary as you travel. However, you also aware that the Triboar Trail leads to Phandalin, and then you can collect your coin from the dwarf. Going slower would be safer and take longer to finish your journey. On the other hand, moving quickly would mean reaching Phanadlin much sooner. Possibly even just before nightfall. Though going at a quick pace would increase the chance of missing something important, and put you at risk.

 "No issues so far." Eniwin responds. She opens one of her note books and starts documenting the days journey so far.

"Well blacksmith, that may be so for you, but my world is the mountain peaks themselves....nothing can compare to the icing breath of the mountains, and the need to be ever vigilant, and in constant competition with the environment just to stay alive....." he trails off thinking of his past life in the icy North.

"Let's remain cautious and not let our guard down though....we will get to our destination soon enough" and he too turns his attention once more to scanning the surrounds looking for signs of trouble
